How do I get my first reviews as a new mentor?
Reviews are the engine behind your whole GrowthMentor profile. They're how members decide to book you, how matching learns what you're good at, and how you move up the ladder: a rate after 3 reviews, above $100 after 10, and the Midas Trip at 100. So the first few matter.
Open your calendar and complete your profile
You can't get reviewed for sessions you never do. Make sure your profile is complete and your availability is open so members can book you. As a new mentor you're free to book, which is exactly what gets those first calls on the calendar.
Do a genuinely useful call
The best way to earn a review is to be worth reviewing. Come prepared, listen more than you talk, and send the member away with one or two concrete next steps.
Ask, at the right moment
Most people are happy to leave a review, they just forget. At the end of a good call, let the member know it would mean a lot and that it helps you keep mentoring. A quick nudge right after the session is the single most reliable way to turn a great call into a review.
Bottom line: open availability gets you booked, a great call earns the goodwill, and a simple ask at the end converts it. Do that a handful of times and you're past the first threshold.
